I've been thinking about it, and I am pretty sure it is worse that cut and paste, since the Win32 API function topics where an MSLU link is appropriate actually link to the MSLU topics -- which the copy/paste would have picked up!

This seems more like someone trying to answer the "Unicode" question for these functions and not knowing what to put, so looking at other topics for answers. Luckily, not being sure they are right, they did not add the link?

This is all theorizing though, the science of forensic documentation review is a relatively new field. :-)

Well, to borrow and morph the words of Michael Everson, I am not going to be judgmental, no matter how stupid something is.....

"though many of them seem to convert the strings from Unicode."

Which might mean that it already supports Win9x without MSLU anyway.

I disassembled it in IDA Pro and there is also some A wrappers that convert and call the W version in wininet too, even on Win9x. In any case, all this means that the W functions in wininet.dll are already available on Win9x without MSLU, at least the IE 6 SP1 version!
